I really was grateful that each chapter switched times from past to present, because the past was so so hard to swallow. The present day chapters were like a pallette cleanser. Doing this also helped to build some of the tension of EACH timeline. I really liked it.
The only reason it is not a 5 star rating is because of the "romance" story. It was a little unnecessary, though not necessarily bad...? Idk
